ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1 lb sausage, casing removed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean, then prick them all over with a fork. Bake them directly on the oven rack for about 50-60 minutes until fork-tender.
- 2.
In the meantime, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and drain any excess oil.
- 3.
Once the potatoes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly. Cut a slit lengthwise across the top of each potato and gently squeeze to open up the slit. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a sturdy potato shell.
- 4.
In a bowl, combine the cooked potato flesh, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
- 5.
Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture back into the hollowed potato shells, dividing it equally among them. Press down gently to ensure even filling.
- 6.
Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- 7.
Serve the cheesy sausage-stuffed potatoes hot, garnished with extra green onions and parsley, if desired.
